Graze Discounts!

Image
Hello everyone, I know it's been a while. I haven't posted in nearly 4 months but that's because I've been at university and it is so ridiculously busy, I feel like I haven't had a moment to myself. Still, I really like being able to look back at my summer and see what I did so hopefully I will be able to get back into it for Christmas; I may try to do Blogmas: a blog every day for December/Christmas. I just wanted to make a little post about a new healthy eating website: GRAZE! I have recently joined and being a fussy eater its hard to eat healthily. I think these are perfect. You can Bin, Try, Like or Love snacks and based on a this feedback, they send you the snacks. You can schedule the boxes to suit you and you can get up to 4 snacks a week. Perfect for lunchboxes. I have a discount which gives you your 1st, 5th and 10th boxes free! But shush...you can just have the first box for free and then cancel when you like! I think this might become a thing? T...

DVD Haul

Image
Hi Everyone I recently bought a load of DVDs from ASDA. I was getting rather bored of the same movies over and over again and nothing good being on TV. I haven't treated myself to new DVDs in a long time so I thought I would splash out!  Divergent  I love the book series, I went to see this at the cinema and I loved it! Can't wait to watch it again soon!  Vampire Academy  I loved the book series and I couldn't wait for the film when it was announced. The movie flunked at the box office in Anerica and when I watched the trailer I could see why. It doesn't look great but I thought I would give it a try because I still love the story line.  Endless Love  Oh my! My first ever crush was in Alex Pettyfer and so ever since Stormbreaker I have watched every single movie he is in...and know most of them off by heart. I am a romantic girl, always and forever, so this is my perfect movie! Swoon!  So Undercover  Cheap and cheerful. I have seen this movie befo...

Holiday 2014: Jewellery

Image
Hi Everyone When you go on holiday, you don't want take all if your collection because it can get lost or damaged really easily. I also, only wear jewellery in the evening because I am constantly in and out of the pool, so really I only where it for 5 hours maximum.  Here are the pieces that I chose to bring with me this year. My pandora bracelet: I love my pandora bracelet. Most of the charms mean something to me: Aeroplane: my first trip alone to Tanzania, with GapMedics last year Cupcake: this is how my friends and I celebrated are GCSEs so my mum got me a cupcake to remember  H: my name Lock and Chain: a secret my sister told me...she was pregnant Star: my mum said with my AS results 'I was her little super star' 16: my 16th birthday Pearl: birthstone Work books: from my dad for GCSE results Carriage: from my sisters for prom 18: my 18th birthday Camera: I love taking pictures and I bought myself this on the day of ...

Holiday 2014: Day OOTD

Image
Hello Everyone Here are my outfits of the day from Portugal!  1: Purple floaty dress from Debenhams about 3 years ago. It's really comfy but it is very fiddly to put on and off. 2: I got this from Debenhams this year, at £25, and I love it! It's surprisingly cool, super comfy and really easy to get on and off. Also, the colours look great with a tan! 3: This is from ASDA this year. Cheap and cheerful. The prefect bikini and round the pool outfit. 4: Probably 3 years old from Marks and Spencer's. Really easy to wear but I wouldn't recommend it to go out in because it is a little bit see-through...as you can see above! 5: I wore this to Albufiera and Villa Moura on a day out. It was a little bit cold with lots of clouds blocking the sun. Crop white trousers, from who-knows-where (old!) and a new top from Next. It was really cheap because it was on sale as England had just left the world cup. Haha. 6: Similarly to the maxi dres...

Meeting My First Love Part 1

Image
Hi Everyone, My first, and currently only, love is my gorgeous niece! I am going to do a few blogs on her being part of my life :) The very first look I had of her <3 How did she tell me? She was coming up for the weekend, as she lives in London, and came to my dad's house. My dad already knew and I had no idea what was about to happen. She got me and my younger sister, Jessica, together and gathered us around the computer. Clicking play, a little grey blip on the screen moved. She was 3 months pregnant!  How did I feel? Honestly, when I first heard that my oldest sister Victoria was pregnant...I was shocked. In my mind, you should be together, engaged, married and then start a family. I have nothing against families in any other order but the picture-perfect, in my eyes, was that fairytale step.  I went upstairs to my room and cried. When I look back I don't know if these were tears of shock, saddness or happiness. But after about half an hour, I ran downstai...

Race Weekend: Outfit of the Day

Image
Hi Everyone, As you know I am a massive Formula One fan and this weekend I travelled to Milton Keynes for the British Grand Prix 2014.  It was an amazing experience as said in my previous post.  Wednesday 02/07/14: I wore a long tunic top that is about 5 years old. It has holes in now but It is so comfy and a really pretty colour! This was paired with black leggings from Warehouse coating £14, black FitFlops and a paired this with a brown leather jacket from Joe Browns, an online company, costing around £30 I think. I wore my heart necklace half rose gold and half Sterling silver, from my father 3 Christmases ago...my favourite necklace!  Thursday 03/07/14:  I wore a grey horse top from Dorothy Perkins, around £15 I think, paired with turquoise jeggings from Dorothy Perkins and my black FitFlops. The same necklace again. Friday 04/07/14:  I wore a blue dress from Dorothy Perkins prices at £12. It is so comfy and in the summ...

Summer Foods

Image
Hi Everyone, When it's hot I hate to eat heavy meals. I get really full, really fast and it feels stodgy.  Now the English summer has well and truly arrived and the temperatures are consistently in the 20°C I thought I would give some ideas of what I like to eat when it's hot.  Number One: Barbeque. Eating BBQ food outside on a warm summer evening is so simple but yummy! Get the BBQ on and loaded with meat and then start with the sides. My family and I tend to have a bowl of salad, a fresh crusty bread that we can chop into slices, jacket potatoes ect... Number Two: Sorbet. My guilty pleasure will always be Lemon Sorbet but I have recently got into Mango Sorbet as well. Sorbet is a refreshing, light and cold snack/pudding.  It is definitely a palate cleanser.   Number Three: Cucumber. Yet another refreshing snack to have and it is relatively healthy. One of your 5/6/whatever the new recommendations are. It is great because...
